[vtkusers] reading from FORTRAN files

[Gavin Tabor]

Hi.

I'm trying to read in data from a FE file written by a FORTRAN code,
in order to visualise the data in VTK. The file contains integers
and floating point numbers in binary format. I've managed to read 
in the integers OK, giving me an outline of the file (I can for 
example read how many points there are in the mesh), but I cannot
work out how to read a binary FLOAT into an appropriate C variable.
If anyone can give me some clues on this I would be very appreciative.

Gavin
